Q: Flowchart vs flow diagram: what is the difference?

A logigramme and a flowchart are the same thing: logigramme is simply the French word. Both follow the same shape conventions, standardised by ANSI or ISO 5807. In French they are also called diagramme de flux or ordinogramme.

Q: What do the shapes in a flowchart mean?

The main shapes are standardised (ISO 5807): an oval for the start and end of the process, a rectangle for an action or step, a diamond for a decision (yes/no), a parallelogram for data input or output, and arrows for the links between steps.

Q: Can you insert a flowchart into Word, Excel or PowerPoint?

Yes, with the ProAd edition: your flowcharts export directly to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and LibreOffice Writer, Calc and Impress with a live link, as well as to PDF (searchable text). The Pro edition adds SVG and PNG image export.

Definition

What is a flowchart ?

A flowchart is a standardised graphical representation of a process or procedure. It visually breaks down a sequence of activities using standardised shapes — an oval for start and end, a rectangle for a step, a diamond for a decision — connected by arrows. This convention ensures instant readability by any reader, with no prior training.

It is also known as a flow diagram, anordinogram, or a flowchart . The flowchart is the essential tool for formalising quality procedures compliant with ISO 9001, modelling a business process in BPMNnotation, or documenting a work instruction.
